National Rail - A Thankyou

I am sending this to Thank all involved during my journey from Eastbourne to Ewell West on Wednesday 29thNovember 2023. On arrival at Eastbourne Station a charming young man named Ismael kindly carried my luggage and took me to the ticket office.

I am so pleased that the office is going to remain open. After buying my new rail card and ticket from equally cheerful staff. Ismael and Tim stood me in a warm spot till my train came in and then they ushered me in to a carriage ( they even waved goodbye as the train left)

At Clapham Junction I was helped from the train and onto the next one by two more cheerful but frozen! Platform staff. At Ewell West more help was there. My son was on the platform waiting and then I was safely in his home. I am 80 years old and recently widowed. I know my darling husband would be thankful for such kindness and gentlemanly people

So NO complaints from me only THANKS. Barbara ***

User's recommendation: British Rail is THE BEST
